They hanged him in that way three
times, but BortmaS StubbOrnly kept

SENATOR Sherman addressed his
resignation as president pro tempore
of the senate to that body on Wa sh-
ington's birthday. His term as sena-
tor expires on the 4th of March and
he resigns his Office to enable the SEN
ate to elect presiden t, whose term
extends beyond that time and who
can administer the oath Of Office to
senators-elect. The impression is
that either Senator Hoar or Senator
Ingalls, will be chosen to succeed
Sherman. Both are experienced and

The retirement of Mr.. Manning
from the treasury portfolio obliges
President Cleveland to look around
for a new man. By all reports the
official family of the president will
undergo complete change. Speaker
Carlisle is said to be Manning's Sue
cessor, being eminently adapted for
the Office in all respects. Minister
Pendleton is to take the place of Mr..
Endicott as secretary of war and the
latter is likely to receive German
mission. Garland will leaye the cab
met and Postmaster General Villas is
put down for attorney-general. Car
isles promotion to cabinet position
will necessitate the election of speak
er for congress, and the democrats
may soon have to hunt out their best
man for that place.

who was disappointed in the fit of an ex-
pensive tailor made garment took 1t back
10 the little man that made il and rather
eloquently berated him for the errors
hich were only too patent in the cut.
Instead of attempting to persuade her 70
the contrary, the unhappy tailor burst
into tears, and, throwing himself down
on a chair, admitted, with many sobs,
that it was all wrong. Here was com
ical situation. The lady knew not what
TO say, while the little Frenchman, whose
skill had been acknowledged in many di-
rections, cried like q worn out woman
He said, with much truth and not little
pathos, that the ladies had become SO
very particular he could no longer please
them; that he had made jackets and
dresses and mistakes for them always,
but now be could bear no more A heart
of steel would have melted at this outburst
of nerves." ana this lady, who is full Of
sympathy, forgot her own grievance in
the effort to comfort and console him.
After an hours hard work he became
somewhat composed, and, it is hoped, en-
couraged for the future by her friendly
and disinterested advice. She says. how
ever, that it will be a long time before
she recoyers from the altogether novel
sensation of apologizing for what was not
her own fault.-Boston Herald

a New Method of TeIegraphing

4 mode of telegraphing was tried by the
military authorities of Belgium. Ii is Il
combination of the electric and optic tele-
graph. The optic station is made up Of a
balloon held ut any height above ground.
Inside Of the boat 1loatcd by the balloon,
or on the bottom Of the boat, six electric
lamps were attached, which were con
nected with an electric battery on the
ground by means of wires running alc-g
the rope which held the balloon captive
On the ground there was "A Morse tele-
graphic apparatus. An experienced
operator spelled q message, the characters
of which are registered on a common
Morse apparatus by shorter and longer
strokes upon running band Of paper
The shorter or longer the line is on paper
the shorter or longer is the time CORE
spending TO it during which the electric
current is working.
Instead of marking time on papsA the
apparatus used ut the experiments made
at Antwerp keeps the six lamps attached

Any man understanding the Morse alpha
bet is able to read the characters given
by the successive flashes of light of the
electric lamps. \ number of messages
were thus spelled and correctly read by
posts at distances of several miles. The
balloon was only some 800 feet above
ground. The higher il is allowed to
ascend the greater is the distance at which
its characters can be seen and understood,

are served. they are devoured without
peeling. Twenty or thirty peaches is con-
sidered an ordinary allowance, which rap

Such a prodigality in victuals is, how

are many fastings. The Coreans are
